1 IBM System x3400 M3 IBM Redbooks Product Guide The System x3400 M3 servers are self-contained, high-performance, 5U tower systems designed for web and business server applications in remote or distributed environments. These servers are highly scalable in configuration, performance, and availability. They offer two-way SMP power with the latest Intel Xeon 5600 series processors, a dual connector 8-port SAS/SATA RAID controller on hot-swap models, an embedded Gigabit Ethernet controller, and six PCI Express 2.0 slots. These servers support SATA or SAS HDDs. These servers are flexible tower models that deliver the best blend of power, manageability, expandability, and serviceability. They meet the requirements of server applications in the small-to-medium businesses that need an affordable general-purpose network server. These servers fit into business environments where tower configurations are required. Figure 1 shows the IBM System x3400 M3. Figure 1. The IBM System x3400 M3 Did you know The System x3400 M3 server supports optional spare DIMMs, memory mirroring, and RAID-0, RAID-1, and RAID-1E support standard with optional RAID-5, RAID-6, RAID-10, and RAID-50 available. It features large amounts of internal expansion and I/O support. Comprehensive systems management tools such as advanced diagnostics, Predictive Failure Analysis, and the ability to control resources from a single point make it easy to deploy, integrate, service, and manage from any location.

10 Memory options The IBM System x3400 M3 supports DDR3 memory. The server supports up to eight DIMMs when one processor is installed and up to 16 DIMMs when two processors are installed. However, the maximum number of DIMMs is limited by the number of ranks in the DIMMs: RDIMMs Up to 16 single-rank RDIMMs for a maximum of 64 GB (16x 4 GB) Up to 16 dual-rank RDIMMs for a maximum of 128 GB (16x 8 GB) UDIMMs Up to 16 single-rank UDIMMs for a maximum of 16 GB (16x 1 GB) Up to 16 dual-rank UDIMMs for a maximum of 64 GB (16x 4 GB) Each CPU has three memory channels, two of which contain three DIMMs per channel and the third contains two DIMMs. RDIMMs can be populated up to three per channel. However, UDIMMs can only be populated two DIMMs per channel. That is, you can have up to 16 RDIMMs installed in the server, but only up to 12 UDIMMs. Mixing UDIMMs and RDIMMs is not supported. Maximum memory speed is limited by memory speed supported by the specific CPU (that is, if the CPU only supports 1066 MHz, then the memory speed cannot exceed 1066 MHz in any case) and by the number and type of DIMMs installed (whatever is lower), as follows: Intel Xeon 5600 series processors: 1333 MHz when one or two single-rank or dual-rank RDIMMs per channel are installed or one UDIMM per channel is installed 1066 MHz when two UDIMMs per channel are installed 800 MHz when three single-rank or dual-rank RDIMMs per channel are installed Quad-core Intel Xeon 5500 series processors: 1333 MHz when one single-rank or dual-rank RDIMM per channel is installed or one UDIMM per channel is installed 1066 MHz when two single-rank or dual-rank RDIMMs per channel are installed, or two UDIMMs per channel are installed 800 MHz when three single-rank or dual-rank RDIMMs per channel are installed Dual-core Intel Xeon 5500 series processors only support memory speed at 800 MHz. The server supports both 1.5 V and 1.35 V DIMMs. Mixing 1.5 V and 1.35 V DIMMs in the same server is supported for Intel Xeon 5600 series processor-based systems. In such a case, all DIMMs operate at 1.5 V. Intel Xeon 5500 series processor-based systems do not support 1.35 V DIMMs. The following memory protection technologies are supported: ECC ChipKill (for x4-based RDIMMs) Memory mirroring Memory sparing If memory mirroring is used, then DIMMs must be installed in pairs (a minimum of one pair per CPU), and both DIMMs in a pair must be identical in type and size. If memory sparing is used, then DIMMs must be installed in sets of three, and all DIMMs in the same set must be identical in type and size. Memory sparing is only supported for Intel Xeon 5600 series processor-based systems. IBM System x3400 M3 10

12 Internal disk storage options IBM System x3400 M3 server supports the following internal storage configurations: Four 3.5" simple-swap or four 3.5" hot-swap SATA hard drive bays Eight 3.5" hot-swap SAS/SATA hard drive bays Eight 2.5" SFF hot-swap SAS/SATA SFF hard drive bays 16x 2.5" SFF hot-swap SAS/SATA SFF hard drive bays Figure 5 shows these configurations. Figure 5. Internal drive configurations IBM System x3400 M3 12

13 Standard models of x3400 M3 ship with either four 3.5" SS SATA HHD bays (configuration 1 in Figure 5), four 3.5" HS SAS/SATA HDD bays (also configuration 1), or eight 2.5" SAS/SATA hot-swap hard drive bays (configuration 3). The following table shows internal storage expansion options available for the x3400 M3 server. Table 6. Internal storage expansion options Part number Name Maximum quantity supported 69Y Y0895 Additional 4x 3.5-inch LFF hot-swap SAS/SATA HDD upgrade kit (used in configuration 2 in Figure 5) Additional 8x 2.5-inch SFF hot-swap SAS/SATA HDD upgrade kit (includes a 6 Gbps SAS expander) (used in configuration 4, as shown in Figure 5) 1 1 These options are used in the following ways: 69Y0894 upgrades models with four 3.5" hot-swap HDD bays to eight 3.5" hot-swap HDD bays (configuration 2 in Figure 5). Disk backplanes are directly connected to the ports on the RAID controller. If this option is used, then only one UltraSlim optical drive can be installed. Internal tapes are not supported in this configuration. 69Y0895 upgrades models with eight 2.5" hot-swap HDD bays to 16x 2.5" hot-swap HDD bays (configuration 4 in Figure 5). This option includes a SAS expander card that fits into a regular PCI-E slot, decreasing the number of available slots by one. The RAID controller occupies a separate PCI-E slot.

26 PCIe adapters The server does not support High IOPS adapters. Power supplies The server supports either one 670 W AC fixed power supply or up to two 920 W AC hot-swap redundant power supplies, providing N+N redundancy. Standard models come with one power supply, either fixed or hot-swap, depending on the model as listed in Table 2. For models with one 920 W AC hot-swap redundant power supply, you can add a second power supply by ordering the option listed in the following table. Table 18. Power supplies Part number Description Maximum quantity supported 44X0381 IBM Redundant Power Supply for x3400/ (One power supply comes standard with every model.) The power supply ships without a line cord. A line cord must be ordered separately (country-specific). Note: Power supply option 44X0381 is for both the x3400 M3 and the x3500 M3. The power supply option includes three fans however these fans are only for use with the x3500 M3. They are not used in the x3400 M3. (The x3400 M3 includes physical space for the fans but there is no electrical connection for the fans in the x3400 M3.)

27 Remote management The server contains IBM Integrated Management Module (IMM), which provides advanced service-processor control, monitoring, and an alerting function. If an environmental condition exceeds a threshold or if a system component fails, the IMM lights LEDs to help you diagnose the problem, records the error in the event log, and alerts you to the problem. Optionally, the IMM also provides a virtual presence capability for remote server management capabilities. The IMM provides remote server management through industry-standard interfaces: Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) Version 2.0 Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Version 3 Common Information Model (CIM) Web browser The optional virtual media key is required to enable the remote presence and blue-screen capture features. The remote presence feature provides the following functions: Remotely viewing video with graphics resolutions up to 1280x1024 at 75 Hz, regardless of the system state Remotely accessing the server using the keyboard and mouse from a remote client Mapping the CD or DVD drive, diskette drive, and USB flash drive on a remote client, and mapping ISO and diskette image files as virtual drives that are available for use by the server Uploading a diskette image to the IMM memory and mapping it to the server as a virtual drive The blue-screen capture feature captures the video display contents before the IMM restarts the server when the IMM detects an operating system hang condition. A system administrator can use the blue-screen capture to assist in determining the cause of the hang condition. The following table lists the remote management option. Table 20.
